Three years later.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden main quest - Earth Culture Operation (1)."

"Ding, the quest reward has been put into the backpack. Experience points reward 100,000, coin reward 10,000,000, time travel card x1, host is great! ”

"Ding, congratulations on upgrading the host to lv13!

"Get the Upgrade Pack x5."

Side quests are not supported for viewing for the time being, the task completion progress is 0/100, the task rewards experience points are 100000, the coin rewards are 10000000, and the mall supplies exchange voucher x1. ”

When Xi Luo received the system prompt message, the book in his hand fell to the ground in shock, and the empty study room was inexplicably a little chilly.

The wooden door of the study was opened, revealing a thin figure in a dark military coat, and the cold wind took advantage of the gap between the doors to swish into the room, and the pages were rustled on the ground.

There was heating in the room, and the person who came shook off the Xiaoice crystal on his clothes vigorously outside the door, and then quickly closed the door and hung his coat on the hook. The hat and scarf that came to the ground were all slowly removed from his body, and Zeng Shengshu's face was revealed, and his gray hair was unrestrained and hung down on his head.

Only three years had passed, and his hair, which had finally turned black, turned gray again, as if the two potions had never worked on him.

"Look at what I'm doing, I'm done reading the book?" Over the years, as the requirements for Xi Luo have become higher and higher, Zeng Shengshu has also become stricter.

"This book just ended." Xi Luo said in a low voice and gently put down the book in her hand, but the time of the past few years has not left half a trace on her, those friends who used to record shows together, everyone is growing up, but she has always maintained the size of four or five years old.

"Okay."

"Host, you've finished reading another one? Still so thick? "The system is the study that follows Zeng Shengshu into the study, these days he can only rely on the Internet to pass the time, the host and Zeng Lao have their own things to do, and no matter where he stays, he will affect others.

Xi Luo was in no mood to pay attention to the system, and looked at it absentmindedly on the bookshelf.

"Don't want to see it?"

Xi Luo paused for a long time and said softly.

"Then don't look at it." Zeng Shengshu's voice softened, "I know you've completed your mission to go home. ”

"You're not happy? But I'm very happy. This shows that we have repeatedly revised the plan to transform the culture of Dixing for more than a year, and it has finally been recognized. ”

Xi Luo raised his eyes, and he really found a smile in Zeng Lao's eyes, and the depressed feeling of being abandoned surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but turn his head, but Zeng Lao's warm palm suddenly appeared on his head.

"Xi Luo, go home."

"It doesn't matter how many nasty people and nasty things you will meet there."

"It doesn't matter how much you like it, you should let it go. The growth of a person begins with taking the initiative to do the things he hates again and again. ”

Xi Luo bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound, and buried his head hard.

"You can take everything you don't like, turn it into something you like. You don't have to like people who don't like you, that's because they're blind. ”

"Go back, that's your home. When we are alive, we can wander around, but later, all our wishes will become simply falling leaves. ”

"I'll find a way to come back." Xi Luo seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly made up his mind to promise.

"Master, there are still a lot of things I don't understand."

"There are so many books, and I've only read a few."

"Master, what should I do if I can't see the hope of the success of the transformation of the culture of the Emperor Star in my life?"

"I ......"

Zeng Shengshu's mood suddenly began to fluctuate, and he forcefully interrupted Xi Luo's unfinished words: "If you leave, don't come back again." ”

"Why?"

"Xi Luo, don't you understand? The fate of master and apprentice between us has ended. Zeng Shengshu's lips trembled slightly.

"Why is it over, don't you often say that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father?"

Zeng Shengshu took out a set of three books from the bookshelf and landed on the table in front of Xi Luo.

"What is this?"

Xi Luo looked over, it was impossible for her not to recognize the few golden words on the cover of the book, "Five Thousand Years of China".

"How long do you think I'll live? It's not enough for a fraction of this. How many days and nights does 5,000 years have to be, and in the end? And that's not all there are left! ”

"What about another 5,000 years? If you look at the history of mankind again, it will be a period of earth-shaking change! How many more names could be kept on this book? ”

"Don't come back, I won't see you again."

Xiao Xi Luo, if you can, don't waste time on emotions, how difficult is the opportunity to travel through time, go to other times, and see how vast the new five thousand years are.

"Xi Luo, there's only so much I can teach you." Zeng Shengshu gently put the plan written out in his bag on the table, and after hesitating, he tapped the wooden table slightly with his index finger, took off the military coat on the shelf, and left without looking back.

I don't know if it's because the door is always opened, Xi Luo feels that the house will never be warmed up again. The words that Zeng Lao said kept coming to mind, because I won't grow up in this era, is that the reason why I have to leave?

"Don't be sad, host, I'll be with you." The system hesitated and flew to Xi Luo's voice, "I will never, ever abandon you." ”

"Fat ball, what the hell did you say the master was thinking?" Xi Luo had bitterness in his eyes, "How can you say that change has changed?" ”

"Yes, it's all because the five-star characters are too ruthless!" As soon as the system finished speaking, he found that Xi Luo was glaring at him, and quickly changed his words, "No, no, no, it's all because of this broken book, which makes people sentimental." ”

"This is a history book, and it can't be sensational."

"Huh?" The system shook its head in embarrassment, "Then blame this heavy snow, it must be all the weather's fault!" Don't be sad, host, anyway, there will be no more snow when we return to Emperor Star. ”

Xi Luo seemed to have been turned on a switch, suddenly jumped down from the stool, and dragged the system to go out: "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going? It's the middle of the night!! ”

"I want to say goodbye to my sister and brother-in-law."

"How do you get there? We were in the mountains, and we couldn't get a taxi. It's still snowing heavily, do you have to leave now? ”

Xi Luo stopped and was silent for a long time: "Fat ball, do you say it's better to say goodbye, or is it better to let them forget forever?" I'm leaving; For them, what is the difference between being dead and never seeing each other again. ”

"What, always, forever forget?" The system was taken aback.

"Do you remember the Journey to the West Seeds? The character we planted was Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she had a jade bottle that she could use. The nectar water in the bottle in the Journey to the West can bring the fruit tree back to life. ”

"The nectar water in the seed can't bring the dead back to life, but it can erase the most painful memories. If they really think my presence will be painful, forget about it. ”
